yet we think it wiser not to leave a small number
of us here. That wicked Dalai Lama might return,
and then—! But we also shall return, for must
we not bear the white man's burden? Must we
not protect them? Remember, then, that we are
now married; has not the bond been signed? And
if there ever was a question as to the propriety of
our attentions, there can be none now. Yes, we
shall come again. Meanwhile they must be faithful
to the marriage vow in Clause IX.; otherwise—but
how could they be so wicked?—after such a gentle
wooing, after such a happy wedding!
These tender adieux having been cried out to a
listening world, the high commissioner and his es-
cort went away, bearing the marriage certificate and
reaping much glory. Of course the Russian Govern-
ment interposed its objection to so flagrant a breach
of faith as appears from a comparison of promise
at the outset with performance at the end. Even
far-away Washington, long before the treaty was
drafted, but when a few observers pointed the drift
of things, uttered a word, merely a sort of "We
view with concern," — yet of some significance.
The Chinese Government up to this writing has not
formally accepted the terms forced upon its local
representative. Lansdowne has indicated that he
would listen to Russia's proposals of modification;
the Dalai Lama is still in the offing. The Tibetan
people are again wrapped in obscurity, and it remains
to see whether they will be quiet under a new gov-
ernment; the change involves so many complicated
threads of religious and political habit that we can
see little of the future.
